Everton fans are reliving the emotions felt during the final game of the 1993/94 season, where they narrowly avoided relegation thanks to a superb comeback against Wimbledon.
Just three minutes into their final game of the Premier League campaign, Everton looked like they would be crashing out of the top flight after the opposition nudged themselves ahead through a penalty.

The match went from bad to worse after Wimbledon extended their lead through a Gary Ablett own goal and fans prepared themselves to face the dreaded drop into the Championship. But the class of 1993/94 had other ideas. After pulling one back through a Graham Stuart penalty, the Blues kicked into their highest gear and found two more goals through Barry Horne and another Stuart strike.

Was there. Lied to my yng son that we had no tickets. Didn’t want him to witness our relegation. I went through every emotion. Couldn’t stop crying for hours after the game. No voice, throat ripped, ears deaf, raw eyes. 💙💙💙. Don’t ever do that to me again @Everton
